So say there's 6 ditch cannabis plants growing near by. How would one tell if they're worth messing with? I know nothing about cultivation. I'm pretty sure male plants are pretty much useless right?

And if they are even active, what's the most efficient way to utilize them? Hash products? Green Dragon? Glycerin drops? Cure 'n smoke?

Thanks for any info
Love n Light
 
lucky find!
I think if they have buds, they're not males. males produce balls of pollen.
do some google searches on it. there is tons of info on cultivation all over the internet, and also pictures of how to tell if it's a male plant, etc.

also, since you have no experience, i would just suggest cure & smoke them. it seems easiest.
let us know what happens.
 
Thanks man! Yeah I always heard that ditch plants are really low potency so I figured a glycerin tincture would yield maximum highness haha. Unless that process doesn't work with uncured plants in which case I would just burn them babies.
 
most likely they would have no THC to speak of. No one sows high grade, cultivated seeds by the side of the road - too expensive and hard to come by. Think hemp but have a go if there are buds and rip the males out of the ground if you can do it covertly.
Ditch weed is often hermaphrodite as well.
 
You won't get high off of it, lol.

Buy some real weed or grow it yourself (this is better since it is less likely to fund organised crime and all the misery that goes with it).
 
I have sown seeds all around some seasons, not to return and harvest but just to spread the cannabis :D

I'd check it out anyways; sex the plants and go from there. Who knows man, you may just be lucky.
 
general location? there is a lot of "wild cannabis" that is hardly active growing across the US that I know of.
 
It might just be hemp. Hemp seeds are widely used in bird seed and fishing bait (more the former than the latter) and hence end up all over the place since birds fly long distances and shit everywhere as they fly. Other cannabis, like Ruderalis, is found by the roadside sometimes (although I'm unsure about how frequently it is found in the US if you live there) and is not something you can get high off unless it is crossed with the normal type of cannabis you do get high from i.e. auto-flowering strains.
 
I agree with trying to sex them...where I'm from "ditch weed" is usually referred to mean low quality, since the plants are just sort of sitting around and not being cared for. I would suggest reading around a bit about cultivation and then seeing whats up with them...as Cannibusking said, it's hard to give ya advice without seeing exactly what these things look like =/
 
I have seen a lot of Ditch weed growing along the edges of fields in Illinios,and Indiana,and farm places in the midwest,and all the locals know that they are out there of course.They do not bother with these plants because 99% of them are scraggly hemp plants.During WW2 farmers were encouraged by the US government to grow hemp for use in things suchs as parachutes and rope,etc..These plants mostly have no THC at all as they are left over wild hemp plants that grow everyyear.I do think that maybe some corn farmers in these areas may plant some "real" cannabis nearby to make money/get high on, but you can tell that these hemp plants are no good ,and a farmer or growers real cannabis plant that gets you high would stick out among the spindly hemp plants and probably get pollinated by the males.Even female hemp plants are of little to no value as they where,like all industrial hemp plants bred to provide hemp fibers and other products and not for THC levels.My friend in Illinois that lived near a small town took me out to a corn field and showed me the hemp plants. There were females among the hemp plants and we took the best looking one whuch looked terrible.He rolled up a blunt and tried to smoke it after he dried it and let it cure and he got nothing off of it but a cough and a bad headache.It could be possible for there to be actual cannabis plants to be found in the wild, left unattended or planted by someone years ago, and forgoteen or whatever, but that is unlikely,and if so it is most likely left there because it is shwagg weed or for some reason.Good weed even low potency weed brings enough money that no one will just leave it out for the hell of it,unless you are a "johnnyApple Weed" person who likes to spread plants out here and there for people,but those type of people are few and far betwwen these days.
